The recent resignation of Victor Ochei, the former Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, from the All Progressives Congress (APC) underscores a growing crisis within the ruling party. Ochei's departure follows the earlier exit of prominent party member Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy Senate President, signaling a potential leadership vacuum and discontent among key stakeholders.
The APC in Delta State has faced increasing internal strife, largely attributed to dissatisfaction with the party's direction and leadership tactics. “We can no longer stay in a party that does not prioritize the voices of its members,” Ochei stated, reflecting a sentiment shared by others disillusioned with the APC's current trajectory.
As defections mount, the APC risks losing its influence in Delta State, raising questions about its ability to maintain cohesion ahead of future elections. The party must urgently address these internal conflicts and re-engage with its base to prevent further erosion of support. The political landscape in Delta is shifting, and how the APC responds could determine its fate in the upcoming electoral cycle.
